For lovers of true disco magic — the kind that brings back the sparkle of Studio 54 and the golden age of funk, soul and glitter balls — Lost In Disco is the place to be. London’s biggest and best night of classic disco has built a loyal following with sell-out parties that feel like a joyous time warp back to the heyday of Donna Summer, Earth, Wind & Fire, Chic and Chaka Khan.

Oh, my darling ghouls and sceptics, let’s drop the plastic pumpkins and talk truth. Halloween – that glitter-covered parade of cobwebbed nonsense – didn’t begin with a candy company or a Hollywood slasher flick. No, my loves, it was born from bonfires, bones, and the exquisite terror of the unknown.
You see, before Starbucks sold “Pumpkin Spice Anything,” there were Celts…
Secret Maps at the British Library is absolutely engrossing, 5 stars. 24 October – 18 January 2026.

This Friday 17th October, I went to Kenwood House for the opening of their Halloween at Kenwood Trail, and I have to say – it was truly spooky! Even the little ones were scared!

There’s a quiet kind of magic in homes that balance the old and the new. The high ceilings, decorative cornices, and worn wooden floors whisper stories of another time — while sleek lines, calm palettes, and modern materials remind you that life moves forward. Blending modern design with period features isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about allowing both worlds to coexist beautifully.
London’s most iconic landmarks attract millions of visitors each year, creating queues that can test even the most patient parent’s resolve. The Tower of London, with its thousand-year history and dazzling Crown Jewels, ranks among the capital’s busiest attractions.

During Bologna’s buzzing Cersaie 2025 (22-26 September), a quieter but no less powerful creative force unfolded in the heart of the city: Elementali, an immersive photographic exhibition by Italian photographer Paolo Zauli, internationally known for his rock-and-roll portraits of music legends.
